AOC/EOC, Indianapolis International Airport

The AOC/EOC facility houses personnel and equipment critical
to the operations of Indianapolis International Airport during emergency
situations. Its core is designed to withstand a direct hit from an F-4/EF-5 tornado, with additional FEMA
361 severe weather recommendations included. Beyond the
hardened core are support offices not critical to emergency operations. These areas were designed to more
conventional design standards to provide a more economical overall design. This
includes an exposed reinforced concrete roof slab mimicking the wings of an
airplane, resting atop a high-volume clerestory running the length of the
building.
